TuE-GErrYsBUnG MONUMENT.
,Ihe Committee on Design Decide on "A
Greek Column for the state Monu-
ment-More Funds Needed
From the Rutland Herald.l

from the Rutland Heraldl
A majority of the committee on designs,
of the Gettysburg monument commission
ers for Vermont assembled in Rutland,
Wednesday. There were present Governor
Ormsbee, Gen. Vim. Wells, Gen. Thos. ..
Seaver, Col w. G. Veazey and Col. Albert
Proctor, Gen. w. Y. w. Ripley, and Col.
Rush G.. Hawkins of New York attended
and conferred with them.
Only one design was presented. The
discussion resulted in a conclusion to rec
ommend to the commission for the gen
er8l or State monument n Corinthian
column, very much like the Nelson monu-
ment in Trafalgar square, London, only,
of course not half so large, and measures
were taken to secure design, drawn to
a scale, so that its cost can he estimated
and its construction proposed for at an
early day.
No definite plan was perfected for the
four smaller structures but the purpose is
to have them less unique than severe in
their conformity to classic models. The
committee will meet i'll Brdttleboro at s
a. m, October 10, the day of the Vermont
officers reunion.
Their greatest embarrassment in &C
comprising work that will be creditable
to the State arises from lack of adequate
funds. Modest as all their design, VIII
be, they still need at least $4,000 more than
has been raised
Subscriptions, however, continue to
come in. Among those not previously
announced are 500 by a. f. Rankin, Esq.
of St. Johnsbury, S?5 by II. Mann, jr.,
of Wilmington, 500 by Senator Nor
rill, S25 by Mr.. y. f. Cabot of Brattle
boro, $50 each by two gentlemen who re
quested that their names should not be
mentioned, and 500 by Ex-Governor Hor-
ace Fairbanks. The committee felt very
much encouraged and were all gratified
to be able to come to so speedy conclu-
sion in favor of u Greek model that has
stood the test of ages and is admired by
cultivated people the world over. No con
cluslon was reached in regard to statue,
because, whether the monument shall
have one or not will depend entirely upon
the liberality with when subscriptions
are made. Could the prosperous citizens
of Vermont see the field, and realize the
great Importance of placing there Il finish
ed work of art, that will be mentioned by
millions of visitors in terms of praise
commensurate with the record of our
troops. it is believed that the money
would be raised in a week. The efforts to
raise it will be continued.

selected a striking posture for statuette
of President Cleveland which he has just
modelled The president is represented
standing, with his right hand at his side
holding II slip of paper, and with his lett
hand behind him. The slip OF paper IS
probably n copy of George William Cur
lis's criticism of Maryland politics, and
the left hand Is presumably feeling for
the presidents back bone The concep-
ton is IA happy one-NOrUich (COhn)

A TIME FOR REFLECTION.
The mugwump voter is throwing aside
the smoked glasses he has been wearing
for three or four years, and he has no diff
ficulty in discerning a difference in the
two great political parties i'll this State,
whether he looks at their conventions,
their candidates or their platforms. And
lie is doing n good deal Of thinking this

NO CALL FOR FEDERAL AID.
There are nearly $4,000 more public
schools in the southern States than there
were in $780, This indicates grand adj
vance in public sentiment and will ac-
count for grand progress in the future.

The democratic State convention indi-
Gated two things as being as certain to
occur as any known events in the future
can be made certain. One is that Grove
Cleveland is to be the party's standard
bearer III next years contest, and the 9th
er is that free-trade policy is to be urged
upon Congress at its next session and is
to be the leading issue in the presidential
election. The tariff plank of the State
platform is essentially free trade, and it is
based on utterances by Mr.. Cleveland and
Ill recommendations by his secretaries of
the treasury, Manning and Fairchlld.-

THE PROPOSED UTAH CONSTITUTION.
The proposed Utah Constitution means
simply, as the commission has discovered,
that the Mormons prefer to have State,
and then do as they please about poly

make polygamy permanent, for the fed
eral laws cannot interfere with the dome5-
